Notes
'Adorn' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Adorn') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, and perennial beds. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and loamy soil. The large double flowers are medium pink with silver tips and a lacy center. They are slightly fragrant, and the stems are strong. Jesse Nicholls bred it.
Pairs well with Gooseneck loosestrife, Smooth aster, Japanese spirea, and Queen of Night tulip.
